It is the name of a little girl in an Australian documentry. At first I thought it was a bit strange, but it has really grown on me! What do you think of it? If you are interested you can find information about the documentry at www.abc.net.au/life . It is a longitudinal study about child development. ---

Sorry. I don’t like like it at all, but I imagine it could grow on me… maybe. Prefer [name]Sunny[/name] or even [name]Skye[/name] (which I dont like at all) ---

In the US “shine” has a history of being used as a derogatory nn for African Americans, it’s pretty outdated now but it’s not something I would ever use as a name or nn. ---

It causes me to think of… [name]Flower[/name] children… The horror film The Shining… And moonshine liquor… Not sure those are positive or negative- just impressions! ---

I think it’s cute, especially after seeing the little girl. The documentary looks really interesting. ---

There was a guy named Shine at my summer school a couple years ago- he’d be 16 or 17 now. I thought it was pretty cool, don’t recall anyone thinking it was weird. He was smart and, yes, always cheerful so it worked. ---

I knew a [name]Sunshine[/name], Shine is a little bit Hunger games [name]IMO[/name] (With names like [name]Marvel[/name] and [name]Glimmer[/name].) But it isn’t terrible. ---

My friend [name\_f]Molly[/name\_f]'s daughter’s name is [name\_f]Hanna[/name\_f] Shine. I think it’s a better middle name that first…
